I did a quick search and came up empty.
Has anybody seen a credible source for how big the "Gun Industry" is in actual annual dollar sales?
For instance the foodservice industry (from McDonald's to the Ritz) accounts for over $450 Billion in sales each year. I'm always kind of amazed at people that think the US Gun Industry is some giant industry that pushes around politicians with huge donations and threats.
I have to think that it's actual size is relatively small compared to many other industries. I could be wrong, but I'd love to find a source I can use on our lobby day in Springfield in March.
Over the years I've found politicians (and newspaper people) need nice simple, small sound bytes of information. I'd like to have a nice simple size comparison they can actually grasp.
